How are -you getting along with your rayons? If vou still haven't found any hose that compare favorably with pre-war silks and nylons, visit our hosiery department Downstairs at Ayres and discover the wonders of proportioned fit rayon stockings. It’s still possible to have sleek-looking, well-groomed legs, but average size hose won't do.

Breaks and crooked seams are impossible because of the .nohole hem feature. ‘The service tested toe, cradledura foot, strain-proof instep and all-over heel guard provide reinforcement at these points +f wear. And finally, Real Silk hose have fine pencil-like seams and will-not fade from light, laundering or perspiration.
